The Herb and Peggy Taylor Endowment for Excellence in Media Communications

The mission of the Herb and Peggy Taylor Media Communications Endowment is to draw
upon the enormous resources found in the alumni of Southeast Missouri State University's
Department of Mass Media to encourage, support, and assist in the development of the
Department by providing finances, mentoring, and professional networking to the students
within it.

The Taylor Endowment was established in 2011 to recognize and remember writer, producer,
performer, and educator Herb Taylor who developed the early radio and television curriculum
at Southeast and was a founding member of the Department of Mass Media in 1983.

The Taylor Endowment currently consists of two funded initiatives:

The Herb and Peggy Taylor Media Communications Scholarships

Recipients are Department of Mass Media majors.

The Herb and Peggy Taylor Media Communications Fund

Recipients are student interns at KRCU-FM, Southeast's NPR affiliate, or within the
Department of Mass Media working on Departmental projects. Additionally, advanced
students can apply for assistance with expenses associated with extraordinary professional
development opportunities.
